4511179_WA_TG4_iv-vii.indd 5 5/14/19 6:04 PM


Lessons 1–3: Reading, Writing, and Listening Skills Practice
Every unit contains a well-scaffolded reading, writing, and listening lesson. These
lessons follow the activation-presentation-practice-production method. This
framework encourages teachers to first engage students in the material before
exposing them to language content and also supports students by moving
incrementally from more controlled, accuracy-focused practice, to freer, more
fluency-focused production. Specific skills, such as reading to guess meaning
from context, are identified in each lesson, reinforcing clear objectives for both
teacher and student. Writing lessons adopt a process approach, offering pre-
writing activities first, followed by activities to review, edit, and re-write. Throughout
the book, readings and thought-provoking quotes can be found from Oxford
Reference, a trusted source of over two million academic texts.

Lesson 4: English For Real


These lessons allow your students to communicate and adapt to a variety of
situations they will encounter in everyday life. Each unit lesson has modern,
engaging video content to demonstrate the type of language needed for different
contexts. For example, a lesson may focus on the different language needed for
making a request to a friend versus a request to a university professor. Students
engage in prediction activities based on stills from videos and create roleplays
based on the situations. In the student Online practice, they even have the
opportunity to put themselves in the video and record one of the character’s lines,
connecting class learning to their own lives.

Lesson 5: Speaking
The final lesson of each unit is dedicated to developing students’ speaking
fluency, a key part of the Wide Angle series. A variety of activities in the Student
Book, as well as Online Practice, build the language students need for effective
communication.

Floating features
The following features are taught in context and appear flexibly throughout each
unit, which enables teachers to introduce language naturally as communicative
needs arise.

Pronunciation Skill
Wide Angle recognizes that pronunciation is a major factor that contributes
to a speaker’s intelligibility, so pronunciation skills are practiced in each unit.
Pronunciation Skill boxes practice both individual sounds and word stress, as
well as broader features of intonation and connected speech. Pronunciation
audio exposes students to natural models of English speech, and the tasks offer
meaningful practice.

Grammar in Context
Key grammar for each unit is identified in Grammar in Context boxes. These boxes
provide clear explanations for each grammar point. Example sentences are directly
related to the content of each lesson, and grammar points build on one another
throughout the text. Students can also reference the Grammar focus pages,
located after the Unit Review pages.

Vocabulary
Thematic vocabulary from the Oxford 3000 (levels 1-4) or 5000 (levels 5-6) is
taught throughout each unit. The Oxford 3000 / 5000 are word lists of the most
important and relevant vocabulary for English learners. The vocabulary for each
unit relates to the theme and is appropriate for the learners’ current level.

What’s Your Angle?
The What’s Your Angle? activities give students the opportunity to personalize
and demonstrate their knowledge with multiple thought-provoking reflections in
each unit. Students share their opinions on ideas from the unit, practice vocabulary
they have learned, and deepen their communication skills.

Appendices
Unit Reviews
Each Unit Review allows students to demonstrate their learning and feel confident
in their knowledge. Every unit review includes vocabulary and grammar practice
in the Student Book, and additional practice online. Discussion Point encourages
in-depth conversation prompted by Oxford Reference material. Based on What’s
Your Angle? tasks, the Zoom In feature allows students to personalize and to
demonstrate their knowledge from the unit with a series of speaking and writing
tasks. Every Zoom In task is followed by a self-assessment, allowing students to
reflect on what they know and what they still need to work on.

Grammar focus
The back of the Wide Angle student book features an additional page of
supplementary grammar reference for each unit, designed to expand on
the grammar points covered in the Student Book. While grammar points are
introduced contextually within each unit, the Grammar focus pages provide
helpful succinct rules and clear “formulas” to help students gain broader picture of
the English grammar system.

Additional Student Resources


Online Practice
The Online Practice component offers multiple opportunities for students to
flexibly review and consolidate their in class learning. These online activities, which
correspond to each unit of Wide Angle Student Book content, allow students to
receive instant feedback on their work, boosting learner autonomy. Test activities
are also included online.

Workbook
The printed Workbook offers additional practice for all features of the Wide Angle
Student Book. The Workbook includes new readings to practice skills in each unit,
listening comprehension in the Unit Review Podcast, support for Discussion
Board writing, additional English For Real work, as well as grammar and
vocabulary practice.
